    Description

    💜 Become a Hospice Volunteer with Enhabit 💜

    Make a difference. Share your heart. Change a life.

    At Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, we believe hospice care is more than symptom management — it’s about compassion, dignity, and human connection. Volunteers are an essential part of that mission, offering companionship, comfort, and support to patients and their families during one of life’s most meaningful journeys.

    Ways You Can Help:

    • Visit patients and provide companionship
    • Offer caregivers a much-needed break (respite support)
    • Help with legacy projects like memory books or story recordings
    • Sit bedside to ensure no patient is ever alone in their final hours
    • Support our team with mailings, calls, or office projects
    • Bring comfort through our Comfort Paws program 🐾 — dogs (1+ year old, obedience class completed, vaccinated, and people-friendly) are welcome to visit patients too!

    🕐 Flexible Opportunities:

    Volunteer as much or as little as your schedule allows. Most patient visits are about one hour per week, and volunteers can choose roles that match their interests — from direct patient care to behind-the-scenes support.

    👥 Who Can Volunteer:

    Anyone age 14+! We welcome students, retirees, professionals, and anyone with a heart to serve.
